    Historicity aside, this is actually a really good place to grab a beer and catch up with a friend.

    I guess this place is historic. Crazy (in a good way) drag queen was singing and partying.

    Worth dipping into for the history. Not the best bar in the hood tho. Great place to get beaten at pool by a lesbian.

    Great bar except when the Hetero Breeders come in and "pretend" to be down with the cause... Go to your own bar and let us gays have our own thing for once..

    The fact that it ties into the other club on the block via the back passage way is nice. The shitty pool table needs a refurbish. The shows and events are great for pastime.
